Item Description

Laser Quartz is the name given to a form of Quartz points which are naturally long and tapered towards the termination, which has small faces. This piece is from the famous Sapo Mine, where Apatites and Tourmalines are more prevalent. The specimen features a predominant, sharp, nearly water clear, slightly smoky tapered "Laser" Quartz crystal which is sitting on a bed of silvery-gold Muscovite crystals on matrix. The piece is nearly damage free, and truly is impressive for the locality. From the collection of John Arnaud.
